Pit bulls are a misunderstood breed who have sadly been given a bad reputation they don’t deserve. Pit bulls are just as loving and amazing as all other dogs. Thankfully, there are people who advocate for them in hopes that more people will adopt them and see them for the lovebugs they are. One such person is beloved TV star Rainn Wilson who played Dwight on the classic comedy “The Office.”

Wilson loves rescuing pit bulls as he included in the caption of a hilarious video of a pit bull he placed with a friend destroying a dog bed. Thankfully for us and those who need to be reminded that pit bulls are wonderful, Wilson often posts sweet photos and videos of his precious pitbulls!

Thankfully, Ti Bagay crossed paths with an animal lover like Wilson.

As a famous actor from one of the most well known and adored comedies, Wilson has a big platform to help others see that pit bulls are sweet babies who deserve love and care just like every other dog. He rescues pit bulls the same way he does other dogs like Ti Bagay, which helps dispel the stereotype that pit bulls are scary or unworthy of love.

They are often portrayed as sweet, loving dogs who adore humans, especially children and other animals when in fact, they were bred to relentlessly attack until they, or their victim, were dead. Pit bulls are responsible for more attacks – and deaths – than all other breeds of dog combined. This includes attacks on adults, children, infants, the elderly, other animals, people they know, like
